A heavyweight bout between Yoshihiro Nakao (7-2) and Choi Mu Bae (9-3) and a lightweight fight between Eiji Mitsuoka (15-6-2) and Clay French (16-5) have been added to World Victory Road’s Sengoku Ninth Battle fight card.

The event takes place Aug. 2 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.

The event, expected to air on HDNet in North America, also features the semifinals and finale of the organization’s featherweight grand prix.

Sengoku Ninth Battle also features a lightweight title fight between champion Satoru Kitaoka and challenger Mizuto Hirota, as well as a middleweight No. 1 challengers bout between Kazuhiro Nakamura and Kazuo Misaki.

Nakao, a former PRIDE fighter, returns to the ring for the first time since his January first-round TKO loss to Antonio Silva. Nakao, perhaps best known for kissing (and subsequently being knocked out by) Heath Herring during a pre-fight staredown in 2005, suffered an ACL tear in the fight.

Like Nakao, his opponent Bae is an accomplished amateur wrestler who eventually found his way into MMA. The South Korean, also a PRIDE vet, last competed in January when he famously defeated top U.S. heavyweight prospect Dave “Pee Wee” Herman via second-round TKO. He’s now won three of his past four fights, all via stoppage.

In lightweight action, Mitsuoka enters the fight with four wins in his past five fights (with victories over notables such as Joachim Hansen and Rodrigo Damm), which included a first-round submission of Sergey Golyaev at WVR’s January event. French, meanwhile, looks to snap a three-fight losing streak, which included a defeat to current champ Kitaoka at an August WVR event. French had won eight consecutive fights before his current losing skid.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
